“Light, dark, and murder in Macbeth”

This was an essay written for a Shakespeare course in college. A 6-page analytical essay diving into themes in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The themes of light and dark are used to represent the Macbeths’ thoughts and actions for what is done in good and public, and what is done in evil and private. The contrast between dark and light shows the audience the inner relations between the morality of the Macbeths when it comes to murder. Having opposing forces represents not only the reality but the character’s mind. This showcases my ability to create a cohesive argument with evidence to back it up.
